There is no better way to learn about AI, coding and DIY electronics than building and programming your own gadgets. There are a bunch of development kits that can save you time with these types of projects. Take the SensWear Wearable Dev Kit for instance: it is an open source platform that provides you with direct access to raw sensor data. It has Bluetooth connectivity and supports swappable daughterboards. There is a mobile app available for it that shows device status and visualize live sensor streams.

SensWear has a flexible PCB mainboard, so you can use this for smart rings, headbands, and other wearable form factors. It has a Zephyr-based firmware and TypeScript/Python SDKs for custom app development. It uses a Bosch BHI360 smart 6D IMU for motion sensing.
